I made a post about this already, but I don't blame Harrison or Woodley. The D-line is supposed to open things up for the linebackers to attack but that rarely happened, especially once Kiesel and Hampton went down. When they went down, that is when the Broncos started scoring. McClendon, Heyward and Hood were a joke. The lack of a pass rush was their downfall. Without one, you can't expect Ike and Gay to cover their guys forever.

This was far from Silverback's finest hour, but at least he was visible on the field, and he was held on more than one occasion.

that is true, we saw a few times he was being held...he still went after tebow on a few occasions..and had a few other nice hits...he cant be the beast he is every game...cant blame one player for that loss

Going forward I'm more worried about the inside LInebackers . . .

Potsie, too old, too slow, needs to retire
Foote, just not good enough, back up at best
Timmons, flashes of brilliance, but far from a complete inside backer, would benefit from a proper headhunter alongside him
Sly, . . . not really played, will he pan out, need to find out . .

in short this area of the team needs addressing early on Draft day.

To be fair, Timmons didn't really have a chance to excel this year. He was moving back and forth so much that he never got a chance to learn one position or the other. He was just being whipped around the whole season, filling in where ever he was needed.

ive said this before and ill say it again (which im sure wont go over well, again) harrison is overrated

9 sacks and 2 FF this year for a player who missed significant playing time. Not too shabby.

Was he overrated in 08 when he had 16 sacks and 7 FF? Or 09 when he had 10 sacks and 5 FF? Or last year when he had 10.5 sacks and 6 FF? You can say he's overrated all you want but he's one of the few players who consistantly performs when he's on the field. That is a much needed asset on our defense.
